What is life like as an expat in your area?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...

"Living in Shanghai as an expat or digital nomad can be an exciting and rewarding experience. The city is a vibrant and modern metropolis, offering a wide range of activities and attractions. Expats and digital nomads can enjoy the city's diverse culture, delicious cuisine, and bustling nightlife. The cost of living in Shanghai is relatively low compared to other major cities, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. The city is also well-connected, with excellent public transportation and a reliable internet connection. Expats and digital nomads can easily find a comfortable place to live, with plenty of options for both short-term and long-term accommodation. With its vibrant culture, delicious food, and low cost of living, Shanghai is an ideal destination for expats and digital nomads," remarked another expat in Shanghai, China.

"Shanghai, in some ways is a very modern city like Tokyo or New York but very interesting between the duplicity of the modern and old at one time. Expat lives revolve around whatever they'd like it to be, whether it is school or family or sports or social clubs. One can find ones interest in some manner here," said a member in Shanghai, China.
